Meanwhile, the Pakistan Army successfully repelled coordinated attacks by the Afghan Taliban and the militant group Fitna al-Khawarij in Chaman’s Spin Boldak area, killing around 50 Afghan Taliban fighters.
According to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the Afghan Taliban’s brutal assault in Spin Boldak was foiled after Pakistani forces launched a strong retaliatory operation, eliminating several militants.
On the morning of October 15 (Wednesday), the Afghan Taliban carried out cowardly attacks at four locations in Balochistan’s Spin Boldak, all of which were effectively repelled by Pakistani forces.
